How to log in Outlook?

Even though new versions of Outlook and Office have appeared, Microsoft continues to support older versions as well as a few additional years.

Support expiration dates are split between "mainstream" and "extended", for which you'll find an explanation below the support expiration date table.

Microsoft Office 365 has a different lifecycle that is explained at the end of this guide but briefly; This version is always supported.

Mainstream vs. Extended Support

Button: The main differences between mainstream and extended support are as follows;

• During mainstream support, the update may include bug fixes, feature changes, and security improvements.
• During extended support, the updates mainly focus on security updates. Non-security updates can still be included under special circumstances or when specifically requested (see next point).
• To request non-security updates during extended support, you will need to purchase extended hotfix support.

As an end-user, you rarely realize the difference between the two as updates will still be provided until an extended support date is found.

However, when a product reaches its mainstream support date, it is generally recommended to start planning to upgrade to a newer version.

Outlook Support Number

Microsoft Office 365 Button When you use Office 365, you don't have to worry about any supported date. Microsoft continues to support and update Office 365 and will always be the latest version of Office.

You only need to know about 2 things;

• You must have an active Office 365 subscription.
• You have to be up to date within your so-called "release channel".

With the "Release Channel", you can control when and how often you can get new features and updates. For more information, see; Why can't I get the latest updates for Office 365, Outlook 2019 or Outlook 2016?

By default, Office 365 is configured to automatically update itself, but you can also manually check for updates.
